I've been using a bash script I found at:

Subject: Incremental backups 




Hi, 



I use Karmic 9.1 server, no UI! 

I have a server with about 40GB of important documents on it. I have setup a cronjob to backup a filesystem every night.. But now I would like to implement incremental backups every day. Because its starting to take too much space.. 



The way I do it at the moment is that I tar.gz the file system and then I rsync to sdb1. Once a week I rsync sdb1 with an external disk… 



I wondering if any of you know a good way to setup incremental backups using nothing but the shell, since I have no UI on that server.. 



Thanks.
